Waiting lists at posh pre-schools probably form part of the same function from shortly after birth.

S'all I was sayin.
Ta, I really just wanted to defend the toilet cleaner as they are very important (eg. Hospital). You can catch all sorts of things from a toilet seat.;) innit.

Oh and which car looks like a Hippo? I am envisaging my dad's fiat 500 (bambino)but it sounds like a sewing machine.

Sofie, earlier in my life I have been a proud third-generation professional toilet cleaner. I believe that giving your best to whatever you do in life is important, and while aristocrats have their place it is not as special as we are expected to agree it is. Funnily enough, they seldom agree..

Manufacturing consent has its limits..

(sits right next to my print out of the mathematical proof that 1+1=2).
Damn it, I've been working on that for years. bang goes the career.

I believe you could probably link that to every current blog on PAS right now and it would work. Cheers Sacha :) That's life!
So what is the hippo car?

That ain't a hippo car. THIS is a hippo car.

Nice bling. Where's Islander the word-gatherer?

Right here, as in "there's a chiel amang y' taking notes"-
just about to onsend to Webster - no, but seriously has been garnered with due attribution, and will fwd it- cheers!
-
Umm, didn't the Conchords do that one?

-
ooo, more goodies to gather!
(Actually, while new word inventions/wordplay get gathered, they generally are just recorded, not stashed in the wordhoards.)Thanks Mark H! (gathering attribution duly noted.)

baby Hippo then?
Ah, the nostalgia. A mate at school had a Bambina, which actually went really well, and we'd drive to school in it (with his gf). Until the handbrake slipped on her mum's driveway and the car smashed through the side of their house. It's no longer in mint condition.

btw, I thought everyone had seen FOTC. I was homaging, not nicking.

I got that.

Ah, the nostalgia.
My Dad sold and bought another just before he took off for a walk around South America and this is his 5th since I was a kid.There is always a bloody Bambina in our family.
My first driving lesson
Dad. Right Sof, reverse down the drive....
Me. Shit, it's quite fast innit
Dad. Nooo that's a fence. (bang crash)
Me Whoah!
Dad. Right Sof, get out of the car. -
Fer shure, I just wanted to make sure Islander got the right attribution - would hate to have Brett and Jemaine coming down on you for infringement. Sorry I wasn't clear.
-
LOL Sof!

Yes, the last thing I need is to be lampooned to death. Not to mention the bad karma.

Well dont know where you people went, but its obviously a private track and the entrance is disguised.
Anyway back here..
Arseneau's panels will "include high profile kiwis from all sectors – industry, community, business, welfare, unions, religion, education, charity – basically the people who are actively involved in New Zealand and make decisions that influence our lives rather than sideline commentators or observers."
Thanks for quoting the press release in full. To me now a member of the unemployed, this looks lik ethe kind of thing that will just alienate me even further,"high profile kiwis" is that those WITH a job which is telling those WITHOUT a job where they went wrong? what to do now? and we are trying tohelp you reeeally.
Cue Floor Manager "And we are out"
High Profile Kiwi " Right where do I send my invoice"And if I see any religious high profile kiwi on this program I will be screaming at the TV. I would write letter/send emails to the networks or BSA but I need the paper and computer time to send off job applications. Their views will be so irrelevant and lacking in sophistication I'll just turn the TV off and save electricity.
sideline commentators and observers
I guess that just means the rest of us.
The people who are actively involved in New Zealand
As opposed to actively involved in Swaziland?
or inactively involved. Those who cant send us an invoice.
Meaningless pointless words from talking monkeys with an gaggle of celebrity/would be celebrity talking monkeys heading up the team. -

Had a Famous Five flash there for a second. Off to find ginger beer.
